AT&T Executive Education and Conference Center Completes $6.5 Million Room Renovation
AUSTIN, TX. March 24, 2016 — The AT&T Executive Education and Conference Center (ATTEECC), which opened in 2008, completed a renovation of its 297 guest rooms and suites. The new accommodations feature a brand new look and new technology.
The four-month renovation enhanced the guest rooms to provide more comfort, convenience and a modern look for guests. The renovation included: 48” Flat Screen TV with U-verse and DVR, wood floor entry, new double pillow top mattresses, more electrical outlets and USB at the bedside and desk, LED lighting fixtures, new desks, new shades, new refreshment area featuring large refrigerator and beverage station, and new seating. In-room iPads include newspaper, alarm clock and weather app functions; details about the hotel; outlet menus; and an exclusive search tool to curate Austin attractions and activities in real-time. The rooms continue to feature the smart guest-detecting thermostats, and guests will have the opportunity to participate in the property's Green Room Sustainability Program.
“This renovation has evolved our rooms to a completely different experience to meet both the comfort and technology needs of our guests,” said Keith Purcell, Director of Sales and Marketing at the ATTEECC. “We're confident our guests will enjoy our renovated rooms as the new guest rooms reflect the Platinum Service we provide.”
Additionally, ATTEECC replaced the carpet in their three-story conference center in 2015. All of these updates were completed using ATTEECC operational funds. The future adjacent building, Robert B. Rowling Hall, will open in July 2017 and the ATTEECC will have a 15,000-square-foot ballroom complimented by 5,000 square feet of pre-function space and a 5,500-square-foot banquet kitchen.
